UPDATE — Residents oppose proposed shale quarry in E. Panhandle

Associated Press

HEDGESVILLE A proposed shale quarry on North Mountain in the Eastern Panhandle is drawing fire from residents concerned about pollution and soil erosion.

North Mountain Shale LLC is seeking a drainage permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection to open the quarry on about 11 acres in Gerrardstown.

About 200 residents turned out Wednesday for a DEP hearing at the James Rumsey Technical Institute to protest the company’s permit application.

Wendy Hudock says her farm already has been damaged by North Mountain’s exploratory operations.

Berkeley County Commission President Steve Teufel says runoff from the quarry could affect local streams.
